Design and Technology

Intent 

Our intention for our DT curriculum is that pupils will understand the design process and appreciate how everyday objects have been created following this. Our curriculum has been planned with the intention of developing children’s practical and evaluative skills as they move up through the school. Through DT, we aim for our pupils to become creative, imaginative and reflective problem solvers 

​ 

Implementation 

We base and plan our DT learning around each year group’s Learning Journey.  Each year, pupils undertake three DT projects, one of which is food related. For each project, pupils work with the idea of ‘designing something, for someone, with some purpose’. Through the project, they will work through the design process:  

• Evaluating existing products 

• Generating possible designs 

• Selecting a final design 

• Making their final design 

• Evaluating the end project  

As part of each project, pupils will learn a practical skill that is integral to the completion of the project.  

Impact 

Our pupils will leave us with an understanding of the design process and the skills and knowledge needed to design and make functional products.
